Read All Instructions

Read, understand and follow all safety messages and instructions in this manual
and on the test equipment. Safety messages in this section of the manual contain
a signal word with a three-part message and, in some instances, an icon. The sig-
nal word indicates the level of the hazard in a situation.
Safety Messages
Safety messages are provided to help prevent personal injury and equipment
damage. All safety messages are introduced by a signal word indicating the haz-
ard level. The types of safety messages are:
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not
! DANGER avoided, will result in death or serious injury to the operator
or to bystanders.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not

! WARNING avoided, could result in death or serious injury to the oper-
ator or to bystanders.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not

! CAUTION avoided, may result in moderate or minor injury to the oper-
ator or to bystanders.
Indicates a situation which, if not avoided, may result in dam-

IMPORTANT age to the test equipment or vehicle.
Safety messages contain three different type styles.

• Normal type states the hazard.
• Bold type states how to avoid the hazard.
• Italic type states the possible consequences of not avoiding the hazard.
Example:
Engine systems can malfunction expelling fuel, oil vapors, hot
steam, hot toxic exhaust gases, acid, refrigerant and other debris.
Wear safety goggles and protective gloves, user and
bystander. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant
lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
Engine systems that malfunction can cause injury.

ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS
The original on-board diagnostics (OBD I) lacked consistency in communication
and interface while allowing different interpretations amongst vehicle manufac-
turers. Ford used several types of engine control computers, Chrysler used sev-
eral types of data link connectors and GM varied the trouble codes and
communication protocols from year-to-year.
The following tables highlight changes for GM, Ford, and Chrysler. If this seems
confusing; don’t worry. Your tool makes it easy. Based on the VIN information
selected during Scan Tool setup, the processor is automatically recognized. All
you have to do is choose the correct adapter cable and jumper wires (if neces-
sary). Details on adapter cables and jumper wires may be found in “Diagnostic
Link Connectors (DLC)” on page 1-4.

OBD II stands for On-Board Diagnostics version II. OBD II is a system that the
Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) developed to standardize automotive
electronic diagnosis. Technicians now can use the same tool to test any OBD II
compliant vehicles without special adapters. The established SAE guidelines are:
• a universal diagnostic test connector, called the data link connector (DLC),
with dedicated pin assignments.
• a standardized location for the DLC, visible under the dash on the driver’s
side.
• a standardized list of diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) used by all manufactur-
ers.
• a standardized list of parameter identification (PID) data used by all manufac-
turers.
• the ability of the vehicle system to record a freeze frame of the operating con-
ditions when a fault occurs.
• expanded diagnostic capabilities that records a code whenever a condition

• the ability to clear stored codes from vehicle memory with the scan tool.
In addition, SAE has published hundreds of pages of text defining a standard com-
munications protocol that establishes the hardware, software, and circuit param-
eters of OBD II systems. Unfortunately, vehicle manufacturers have different
interpretations of this standard communications protocol. As a result, the generic
OBD II communications scheme used will vary, depending on the vehicle.
SAE publishes recommendations, not laws, but the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) and California Air Resources Board (CARB) made many of SAE’s
recommendations legal requirements that vehicle manufacturers were required

to phase in over a three-year period. Beginning in 1994, vehicles with a new

engine management computer – about 10% of each manufacturers fleet – were
supposed to comply with OBD II standards. For 1995, OBD II systems were to
appear on about 40% of the new vehicles sold in the USA. Some of the 1994-1995
OBD II systems were not fully compliant, so the Government granted waivers to
give manufacturers time to fine-tune their systems. Beginning in 1996, most of the
new vehicles sold in the USA were fully OBD II compliant.
DIAGNOSTIC LINK CONNECTORS (DLC)

1 The Data Link Connector (DLC) allows the scan tool to communicate with the
vehicle’s computer(s). Before OBD II, manufacturers used different data link con-
nectors to communicate with the vehicle. The proper DLC adapter cable must be
used to connect the tool to the vehicle. Also, the vehicle’s DLC may be found in
several different places and have many different configurations. The following
describes the DLCs used by Ford, GM and Chrysler. The DLC location and types
for domestic vehicles can be looked up in the charts in “Appendix A – Data Link
Connectors” .
OBD II (J1962) DLC
Beginning in 1996, vehicles sold in the
United States use the J1962 DLC, a
term taken from a physical and elec-
trical specification number assigned
by SAE (J1962). OBD II defines the
physical and electrical specification
for the DLC. The DLC should be
located under the dashboard on the driver side of the vehicle. If the DLC is not
located under the dashboard as stated, a decal describing its location should be
attached to the dashboard in the area the DLC should have been located.
Because the OBD II J1962 connector has power and ground, you only need a sin-
gle cable connection to the tool for both power and tool communications. Attach
the OBD II adapter cable to the extender cable, both supplied with the tool, to con-
nect the tool. Certain pins in the connector are reserved.

Since 1984, Ford used several different types of powertrain control modules
(PCM). Refer to “On-Board Diagnostics” on page 1-2. With the proper adapter
cables, your tool will be able to read these systems as well.
IMPORTANT Use the Battery Power cable to provide 12V to the tool for all
systems.

Part 3 - Global OBD II Diagnostics
This section covers all OBD II compliant vehicles. Non OBD II vehicles manu-
factured by GM, Ford and Chrysler are covered in Parts 5, 6 and 7, respectively.
✓ If an Operating Error message displays, refer to “Error Messages” on
page 7-2 and check the following :
❒ make sure the OBD II connector is securely attached, and the ignition key
is ON. Cycle the ignition key to OFF for 10 seconds, then ON. This may be
required to reset the computer. If required, select YES to try again.
❒ the vehicle fails to link because it does not support OBD II diagnostics.
Check the emissions label on the vehicle for OBD II compliance.
✓ On the initial link to the vehicle, the scan tool checks the status of the
I/M Monitors and displays it regardless of the function selected.
I/M READINESS 3
The I/M Readiness (Inspection and Maintenance) function displays the state of
the vehicle’s OBD II Monitors. Monitors are tests designed to verify the operation
of emission related systems or components and detect out-of-range values. The
vehicle may have to be operated under certain driving conditions to initiate a mon-
itor. If the vehicle loses electrical power or codes are erased, the monitors may
be cleared. This function can be performed with the key ON — engine OFF
(KOEO) or key ON — engine Running (KOER).
The abbreviations and names for the OBD II Monitors supported by this tool are
shown in the following list. They are required by the U.S. Environmental Protec-
tion Agency (EPA). Not all monitors are supported by all vehicles.

READ CODES
The Read Codes function retrieves DTCs from the vehicle’s computer module(s).
This function can be performed with the KOEO or KOER. There are two types of
codes, Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) codes and Pending codes.
• MIL Codes: These codes cause the computer to illuminate the MIL when an
emission related or driveability fault occurs. The MIL is also known as the “ser-
vice Engine Soon” or “Check Engine Lamp”. MIL codes remain in the vehi-
cle’s memory until the fault is repaired.
• Pending Codes: These codes are also referred as “continuous monitor” and
“maturing codes”. An intermittent fault will cause the computer to store a code
in memory. If the fault does not occur within 40 warm-up cycles, the code will
be cleared from memory. If the fault occurs a specific number of times, the
code will mature into a DTC and the MIL will turn on. If the DTC is a pending
code, then the icon (  ) displays next to the DTC number.

Part 4 - GM Historic Diagnostics
✓ Some 1994 and 1995 vehicles use the 16-pin OBD II connector, but are not
OBD II compliant. They still use the OBD I application software. Refer to
“Appendix A - Data Link Connectors".
✓ If an Operating Error message displays, make sure the cables and adapters
are securely attached and the ignition key is ON. Cycle the ignition key to OFF
for 10 seconds, then ON. Attempt the test selected again. If the problem
remains, refer to “Error Messages” on page 7-2.
READ CODES
The Read Codes function is used to retrieve all stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes
(DTCs) from the control module(s). This can be performed KOEO or KOER. Two
types of codes were used by GM in the Historic System: Current codes and His-
tory codes. Prior to 1986, all codes were referred as Current Codes. From 1986
through 1995, both codes were used as the PCM was able to differentiate them.
The tool automatically displays the type of codes that pertain to the vehicle under
test. The DTC types are defined as follows:
• History Codes — intermittent codes placed in the vehicle’s memory when the 4
trouble originally occurred, and will remain there even if the trouble has been
corrected. If no trouble after 50 engine warm-up cycles, the DTC erases.
• Current Codes — codes transmitted through the PCM’s data stream when a
trouble condition is active and cannot be erased. The problem must be
repaired to remove the DTC.
✓ On some vehicles, all codes are Current Codes, because the PCM cannot
distinguish Current Codes from History Codes. The only way to determine this
is to erase the code and then drive the vehicle to see if the code returns.
Perform the following:
1) Set Parking Brake
2) Turn Key On-Engine Off or Running.
3) Put Transmission In Park Or Neutral.

Erase Codes
The Erase Codes function deletes the DTCs from the vehicle’s computer mem-

should be performed only after the systems have been checked completely and
DTCs have been documented.
After servicing the vehicle, erase the stored DTCs, perform a road test, and then
verify no new codes have been stored. If DTCs return, the problem has not been
corrected or other faults are present.
✓ Some codes can only be removed by repairing the faults that caused them.
Therefore, these codes will remain in the vehicle’s memory until the condition
is repaired.
4 ✓ Not all trouble codes can be automatically erased using the scan tool. Some
vehicles require a manual erasing procedure. If possible, the tool performs the
appropriate Erase Codes procedure for your vehicle.

✓ The computer has a “learning” ability to compensate for minor variations in
engine operation. Whenever power is removed from the PCM, the computer
must “relearn” various functions. Vehicle performance may be noticeably dif-
ferent until this is accomplished. This is a temporary situation and is normal.
The “learning” process takes place during warm engine driving.
VIEW DATA
The View Data function allows the user to view the vehicle Parameter Identifica-

nector with a wire present in Pin-B, Diagnostic or Test Enable. The scan tool
enters this mode by grounding Pin-B: shorting Pin-B to Pin -A (ground).
Field Service Mode can be operated with the ignition Key On-Engine Off (KOEO)
4 or with the Key On-Engine Running (KOER).
✓ Vehicles equipped with climate control computers do not use Field Service.
✓ Some 1994 & 1995 vehicles equipped with a 12-pin ALDL connector with pins

KOEO Procedure
With the KOEO (key On engine Off), Field Service can check relays, solenoids
and the idle speed motor, and obtain DTCs using the CHECK ENGINE light.
1) Turn ignition Key ON but DO NOT Start Engine.
2) On scan tool, place Field Service On.
3) The Check Engine light will begin to flash codes. Each DTC is displayed
three (3) times. The DTCs are displayed starting with the lowest numbered
one. After all DTCs are displayed, the sequence keeps repeating until the
ignition key or Field Service mode is turned OFF.
• Count CHECK ENGINE Light Flashes to obtain trouble codes. The first digit
is sent first. A short pause separates digits while a long pause separates each
DTC. All codes contain 2 digits.
• DTC 12 (No RPM reference pulse) should display first, since the engine is not
running. If not, problems exist in the PCM or Check Engine light circuit.
Code 12 will look like:
FLASH-pause-FLASH-FLASH — long pause.
Code 23 will look like:
FLASH-FLASH-pause-FLASH-FLASH-FLASH — long pause.
4) When Field Service Mode is ON, most computer controlled Relays and Sole-
noids will be turned ON, except for the fuel pump relay and fuel injectors. 4
Toggle the Field Service Mode On and Off.
• Use a voltmeter to measure Relays and Solenoids input voltage to verify
On/Off conditions. An ohmmeter could be used to check the continuity
between the relay’s switch terminals.
• The Idle Air Control (IAC) valve is fully seated to the zero position by the PCM.
• The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) solenoid is energized for 25 seconds.
KOER Procedure
With the engine running, the Field Service mode can be used to measure base
timing, check open loop/closed loop operation, and determine if the engine is run-
ning rich or lean.
1) Engage parking brake and block drive wheels.
2) Verify engine is cold. If engine is hot or warm, allow it to cool.
3) On scan tool, place Field Service On.
4) Start engine and place transmission in Park or Neutral. The Check Engine
light will flash once.
5) Warm the engine by idling for 2 minutes at 2000 RPM.
6) Observe Check Engine light.
• If Check Engine light flashes 2.5 times a second, the on-board computer
is operating in Open Loop.
• When the engine warms up to normal operating temperature, the
on-board computer is now operating in Closed Loop. The Check Engine
light should flash once a second. The on-board computer is now operat-
ing in Closed Loop.
• If Check Engine light...
— flashes equally ON/OFF, then the fuel system is running normally.
— is mostly ON, then the fuel system is running Rich.
— is mostly OFF, then the fuel system is running Lean.
7) On some engines, the spark advance timing is fixed during Field Service
Mode. This allows the technician to measure the engine base timing.

Part 5 - Ford Historic Diagnostics
This section covers Ford vehicles equipped with EEC-IV and

MECS system from 1984 – 1995. Some Ford trucks still used the
EEC-IV system after 1995. Refer to “Appendix A - Data Link
Connectors".
Due to different processor calibrations, the Ford Function List for a particular vehi-
cle may or may not appear as shown. Based on the vehicle information entered
at the Vehicle Setup menu, the tool automatically recognizes the computer sys-
tem installed.
✓ If an Operating Error message displays, make sure the adapter cable is
securely attached and the ignition key is ON. Cycle the ignition key to OFF for
10 seconds, then ON. This may be required because the Ford system allows
only one Self-Test function to be performed for each Key ON. Attempt the test
selected again and if the problem remains, refer to “Error Messages” on
page 7-2.
READ KOEO CODES

The Read KOEO Codes function activates the KOEO (Key On Engine Off) and
Continuous Memory self-tests which retrieves KOEO and Continuous Memory
DTCs from the PCM.
• KOEO DTCs are transmitted through the PCM data link when a trouble con-
dition is active. KOEO codes remain until the trouble condition becomes inac-
tive – usually when the fault is repaired. 5
• Continuous Memory DTCs are stored in vehicle’s memory at the time of
occurrence during continuous self-test monitoring. They will remain there until
the problem does not reoccur within 40 warm-up cycles, Fast KOEO codes
have been read, or the Erase Codes function has been run. Continuous mem-
ory codes follow the KOEO codes in the data stream.
The DTCs are transmitted in two format; both transmit the same information:
• Slow Codes are regular service codes that allow the user to identify the faults
with an analog voltmeter or the check engine light. Slow codes are transmitted
within 3 minutes.
• Fast Codes are transmitted within seconds and must be read with a diagnos-
tic tool. Retrieving Fast Codes erases Continuous Memory Codes, Slow
Codes does not. Fast Codes do not apply to MECS vehicles.

CYL BALANCE TEST (EEC-IV VEHICLES)
✓ The Cyl Balance Test (Cylinder Balance Test) is only applicable to engines
equipped with EEC-IV Sequential Electronic Fuel Injection (SEFI or SFI) .
The Cyl Balance Test identifies a weak cylinder(s) on EEC-IV vehicles. A weak 5
cylinder may be caused by low compression, poor valve seating, fouled spark
plugs, damaged fuel injectors, and other cylinder faults. The PCM shuts off the
fuel supply to each cylinder and measures the RPM drop. The PCM then calcu-
lates variations between cylinders thus identifying the weak ones.
Exhaust gases are harmful or lethal. Always operate vehicle

ing Tips below before consulting Actron.
Though the tool requires at least 6.5V to power up, the vehicle’s control modules
require a minimum of 8.0V to power up and operate.
Check the following:
• Using Non-OBD II Adapter Cables
❒ The cigarette lighter adapter is hooked up. Make sure the cigarette lighter
end is firmly held in the cigarette lighter socket.
❒ Verify that the vehicle’s cigarette lighter fuse is OK. Some vehicles must
have the key on for the cigarette lighter socket to be on.
• Using J1962 (OBD II) or Chrysler LH Adapter Cable
❒ Make sure the tool’s DLC is connected correctly to the vehicle’s DLC. Verify
the pins are clean and fully seated in the DLC.
❒ At least 8.0V must be present between the power and ground pins to power
the computer module(s) and communicate.

because it has the OBD II J1962 DLC does not mean the vehicle is OBD II
compliant. Inspect the vehicle’s VECI decal for a statement of OBD II com-
pliance.
❒ Test for continuity between the DLC wiring and the computer. In an extreme
case, there may be a broken wire.
❒ With the KOEO, check for blown fuses. The computer and DLC usually use
separate fuses. If the fuse for the computer is blown, data cannot be trans-
mitted. The fuses may be located on the fuse block in the passenger com-
partment.
❒ Make sure the computer has a good ground. If the computer case is
grounded, then clean the connection and apply a conductive (dielectric)
grease to the mating surfaces.
❒ With the KOEO, verify the battery voltage is at least 10.0V; the minimum
voltage to power the computer.
❒ As a last resort, the computer may be defective. Refer to the vehicle ser-
vice manual to diagnose the computer.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The tool requires a 9V (type 6LR61) alkaline battery to operate independent of
vehicle and AC power. When the batteries need to be replaced, the low-battery

icon ( ) displays.
❒ Rechargeable batteries do not last as long alkaline types and are not rec-
ommended. 7
❒ Non-rechargeable Lithium (Li) batteries can be used. Though Lithium types
last longer than the alkaline types, they are more expensive.
Follow these steps to replace the batteries:
1) Place the tool with the display
facing down on a non-abrasive Screw
surface.
2) Remove the battery cover
screw.
9V Battery
3) Slide the battery cover off.
4) Remove discharged batteries
and properly discard.
5) Install new battery.
6) Slide battery cover on.
7) Install screw — do not over-
tighten.

NOTE: GM Trucks and Vans - the terminology such as Tahoe, Yukon, Suburban, Jimmy, Bravada,
Vandura, Safari, Astro, etc.... refer to styles of a model or packages for that model, not necessarily
the model. To avoid confusion in properly choosing the correct model to test the vehicle, look at the
5th digit of the vehicle's VIN. The vehicle service manuals and the 5th digit of the VIN provide the
necessary information needed to determine the appropriate GM model.
Example: The test vehicle is a 1997 Tahoe 4X4 3/4 Ton Pickup Truck with Automatic Transmission
and Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) under 8600 pounds. The 5th digit of its VIN is ”K”. Using the vehi-
cle charts in General Motors service literature you will find that this is a 97 K Series 5.7L 3/4 Ton
Pickup Truck with Auto and GVW < 8600. Select that vehicle from the tool Vehicle Selection menu. B
